Downhome Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 I'm learning Spanish, and would like to know some artists that I should check out. Do any of you have any suggestions? Sincerely, ...Downhome...

razazteca Posted January 15, 2004 Report Posted January 15, 2004 Kumbia Kings (pop) La Mafia (rock pop) Limite - Tejano? Thalia (pop) sounds just like Shakira, Selina, etc... Los Lobos - responsible for the Robert Rodriguez movie soundtracks of Desporado and Once Upon A Time in Mexico.
Guest Burrito Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Los Chicos de Barrio Kinda ghetto, but i'll be damned if it isn't catchy.
razazteca Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Also known as the Barrio Boyz Bobby Pulido Emilio Navarida - I might of misspelled the last name. Its good Tex Mex music.
dubq Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Molotov! This band is South American, and are amazing. Really remeniscent of Rage Against the Machine crossed with Pop Will Eat Itself... Mano Negro is pretty good too.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Uhhhh...Puya is a Puerto Rican nu-metal band that had a minor radio hit with "Oasis" a few years back. Not too bad, as the breakdowns have all these Spanish instruments and stuff. The music's still pretty generic nu-metal for mid-90's (thus better than the nu-metal we've been subjected to lately, like Trapt and such), but they're not TOO bad.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Vicente Fernandez is god of traditional mexican music. Saw him in concert a few months ago with Banda El Recodo. Both are highly recommended.
razazteca Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Selena, nuff said. Agreed. Overrated pop act......same can be said about her brother A.B. of the Kumbia Kings. Sepultura, nuff said.
eiker_ir Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 the group: Desorden Publico songs: - Allá Cayó - La Tierra Tiembla - Latex - Combate You may also try Caramelos de Cianuro - La llama - El Ultimo Polvo - Veronica - Las Estrellas - El Martillo - Los Sanitarios these two are from here Venezuela and are IMO the best groups here(well the first one, the second one is good too tho) give it a try
HellSpawn Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Molotov! This band is South American, and are amazing. Really remeniscent of Rage Against the Machine crossed with Pop Will Eat Itself... Mano Negro is pretty good too. Uhm... I dunno but... Last time I checked MEXICO was part of North America... Canada-USA-Mexico. I hate Molotov, but I do have to say that it is a Mexican band. Now about Mano Negra... i think they are from South america, not sure, but probably from Argentina.
HellSpawn Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 What kind of music do you want to listen?

I found some official sites were you can find some previews... Myriam: Myriam Camarita Here you can hear some music right at the home page, just wait a momment and it start. Jaguares: Jaguares
pochorenella Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 Well, it pretty much depends on what kind of music you like, there are a lot of choices. Here we go with some of mine (stuff that I do listen to): Rock/Hard Rock: You can't go wrong with stuff like Mana, Caifanes, some Jaguares stuff, Los Rodriguez/Andres Calamaro (from Argentina) and some Fabulosos Cadillacs stuff. Mano Negra is pretty good, too, but nowadays Manu Chau (the band's leader) is mostly doing solo stuff. He's french BTW, but sings in spanish for whatever reason. Miguel Mateos is also a great solo rock act from Argentina. As far as Hard Rock goes, I was never much into Sepultura, but there's a band from Argentina called Rata Blanca, who're pretty good, in a Rainbow/Deep Purple vein. Heroes del Silencio, and Angeles del Infierno, both from Spain. As for more poppish kinda stuff, I hate Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias with a passion. BUt you can't go wrong with people like Eros Ramazzotti (italian guy who also sings in spanish) or Ricardo Montaner from Venezuela, he sings mostly romantic tunes. And of course, a lot of Shakira's pre-english stuff is pretty good. And as much as I love Thalia, the music she does is horrible. Hope this helped.
